when shall we have Sla- veiy abolished in our country ? When we shall have a spirit as daring and as vigilant as that which defends it ; as willing in one section of the country as another to speak its own thoughts, and to defy consequences. The Slave Power terrifies the North. Why are we terrified ? In itself, it has no resources, no safeguards, no reserved forces. It is the weak- est, because the wickedest Power in the world ; for weakness is always commensiu'ate with wickedness — the farthes...t from God, th. E surest of overthrow. Its strength is here in this city ; in the pulpit and press of this city ; in the commercial mart here, in New York, in Boston, and in all the free North. It is the public sentiment, the wealth, the religious influ- ences, and the physical force of the North, which alone sustain and per- petuate Slavery. Thank God ! we have the monster in our own hands. It is only necessary for us to decree his death, and he shall die, and be buried beyond the possibility of a resurrection.
